Instead of struggling like this, it would be better to leave it as is, so that Ferguson Corporation could not catch any excuse to retaliate and drive Stanton Corporation out of business. Ferguson Corporation’s public relations team was indeed unexpected. They even began to promote Stanton Corporation’s ads? This humble stance won over the hearts of those who were watching the drama. Hehe…

Kai was very puzzled by this, but Nicole was indifferent toward Ferguson Corporation’s overwhelming response. Nicole just instructed her staff to prepare an inventory of those products adequately. "This matter just passed like that? Those Ferguson Corporation people are so shady! How can you stand it?!" Nicole chuckled lightly and raised her eyes to look at Kai. " Of course, I can…” Kai looked disdainful. "Women are really fickle-minded. You were hating on him before, so how can you turn around and smile so brightly?"

He had hoped to see Eric’s defeated look. It would be even better if Eric could beg for mercy on his knees. If that happened, Kai would film it and post it on social media. That way, everyone could see how this Eric F*ckerson got the punishment he deserved! Nicole curled up her lips and lowered her delicate eyes.

Her tone was calm and light. "I just made a rough estimation. Ferguson Corporation lost at least 870 billion, while our stocks rose. Including the business profits, we earned at least $200 billion. Ferguson Corporation has suffered such a loss. If they can still stand it, my little bit of grievance is nothing, don’t you think? What’s more, it was also aimed at Clayton anyway, but we’re the ones reaping the benefits." Clayton was always low-key, and his assets were mainly concentrated in Liberty. Thus, Clayton did not get any benefits from this situation. Besides getting his name smeared, he did not get anything from it. The corners of Kai’s lips twitched. ’So, my sister compromised for $200 billion? It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see the entertaining scene that I picture…’ Nicole thought about it. How could she not know that Eric’s series of tawdry acts online was merely him acting miserable and cute? There were no such PR precedents in the business world.

• This was probably not a method that Eric came up with. It was most probably Toto’s idea. As the two siblings were talking, the butler walked in. "Miss, Mr. Sloan has come to see you…" Nicole smiled. "Okay, invite him in." "Yes, Miss." Kai pondered and said, "Mr. Sloan comes over so diligently. Do you think he deliberately came to get a free meal?"Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Why don’t you ask him?"

Kai immediately refused. "No way! Do you want Dad to kill me?" Nicole snorted lightly. ’What a wimp!’

When Clayton walked in, it suddenly started to rain. The gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds. Clayton walked with a faint smile and looked like a distinguished gentleman. It seemed like the canopy of dark clouds in the sky ripped open, where the light poured down and he came from the light, silently eye-catching. Nicole looked up for a moment, slightly stunned.

Clayton asked, "Sorry to intrude. Nicole, are you feeling better today?" Although Nicole did not stay in the hospital, the doctors would come to give her a checkup every day. Her meals were also extremely nutritious, so Nicole did not worry about her health at all.

"I’m good. Mr. Sloan, my father’s coming back from his fishing trip later. You should stay for dinner…" Clayton’s side profile was prominent, and his face was clean-shaven. He chuckled. "No, thanks. I’m just visiting you before I leave. Some trivial matters need to be dealt with over in Liberty." Nicole frowned. Kai was curious and asked, "Why would you need to go personally to deal with trivial matters?" Clayton paused. He could not hide this and laugh. "Lil Michael got into a fight in school. His teacher asked him to call his parents to go over, but he found three different people to act as his father and was found out…"

Nicole and Kai were slightly stunned.

This sounded like something Lil Michael was capable of.

Nicole pursed her lips. "Then you should hurry over. Lil Michael must be anxious. Is your flight tonight?" Clayton nodded and raised his hand to look at his watch.

"Yes, I’m leaving immediately. If something happens, you must call me." Nicole nodded. Clayton said a few more words and left in a hurry after saying his goodbyes. Ingrid’s farce did not have any substantial side effects on Clayton, so he did not care about Ferguson Corporation’s response. It did not matter to him as long as Nicole was happy.

Eric called Nicole, but she still did not answer. The messages he sent her were like stones sinking into the sea. Her detached attitude was enough to explain everything.

After a few days, Eric finally could not help it, so he ran over to the Stanton Mansion. As a result, the butler told Eric frankly, "Ms. Stanton went to Sand City." ’She actually went back to the place that almost got her killed?’ Eric’s heart sank fiercely. His mood immediately turned gloomy. In the car.

Toto looked at him warily. "Mr. Ferguson, I think you should calm down. Ms. Stanton doesn’t necessarily want to see you now..”

Hearing this, Eric felt even more suffocated. His eyes were dark and sullen. "She has never taken the initiative to see me anyway."

Toto pursed his lips. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Ms. Stanton’s anger will subside eventually. Perhaps she’ll feel better when she comes back…" Eric swept an indifferent glance at him.

If not for Toto’s bad idea, which Toto then found a way to clean up the mess with the public relations department, Eric would have thrown this annoying fatty into the Seine River to feed the fish! "Is there any movement with Old Master Ferguson?"

Toto then remembered that he was now more than just an odd jobber, he was almost competent enough to do Mitchell’s job. "Yes, Mitchell said that during this period, Old Master Ferguson frequently contacted the other relatives of the Ferguson family. Since you didn’t forbid people to visit him, the bodyguard didn’t stop it." Toto felt conflicted. He did not expect the struggle within a rich family to be so complicated that even the closest people could not be trusted. It must be hard for Eric…

Eric calmly took out his phone and glanced at it, then instructed the driver. "Let’s go to Sand City." As soon as Toto heard that Eric wanted to go to Sand City, he knew that Eric was going to see Nicole. Toto felt anxious for Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, what about Old Master Ferguson…"

Old Master Ferguson was in the midst of intensive preparations to trap Eric, but Eric acted like nothing was wrong. Was that good?

Eric’s tone was indifferent. "Just leave it. Let them do whatever they want to. I’d like to see how capable Old Master Ferguson is now…"

Ferguson Corporation was already different from before. Did Old Master Ferguson still think that it was still the same as thirty years ago where he could call the shots? It was just as well. Eric would lure out these people who were not loyal to him and catch them all in one fell swoop. The driver did not hesitate to turn the car around and head to Sand City.

Nicole originally did not intend to come personally, but the project in Sand City was in a precarious situation. Reporters were gathered at the construction site. If there was a slight mishap, the project will be aborted. Although Jacob Cook was very well-prepared and did things well, he was older and could not think on his feet. Nearing the critical moment, Jacob got so nervous that he became hospitalized. When Nicole learned of this news, she almost laughed in exasperation. Stanton Corporation invested a lot of money in this project, so it could not fail just like that. Nicole could not be assured, so she came over personally.

Jacob’s complexion was not great. He looked quite pitiful. When Jacob heard the news of Nicole’s arrival in Sand City, he wanted to follow.

The outside setup was almost done. Nicole was sitting in the car, looking at Jacob Cook. Her tone carried a faint coldness. “I really want to strangle you to death!”

Read Chapter 793 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Jacob’s head hung low. "I also want to strangle myself, Ms. Stanton. I’m sorry for dropping the ball…" Nicole looked away and breathed a sigh of relief. ’Forget it! I’ll just pick a healthier project department director next time!’ This time, the press conference was arranged in the middle of the project site. The building that was never finished after changing several hands only had half-standing walls. After such a site was simply decorated, it looked like some minimalist industrial style. The press conference began.

Nicole was in the middle of a group of staff, so no one noticed her presence. Jacob Cook went to the front and sat down. He began to talk about the development process and prospects of this project. After several twists and turns, this project finally fell into the hands of Stanton Corporation. Since this project involved the overall development plan of Sand City, everyone paid extra attention to it. One of the reporters asked a question.

"Mr. Cook, I heard that the old staff from Zico Company went to the office to create trouble. Was it related to this project? After Stanton Corporation’s acquisition of Zico Company, is the treatment of those old employees the same as before?" Jacob gradually relaxed. "Of course, it‘s not the same. You know that Zico Company owed their employees nearly a year of wages. After our acquisition, we filled in the deficit out of our own pockets. If we were the same, they would all go hungry!" Everyone laughed. The next reporter asked another

question.

"Zico Company’s top executives were arrested by the police because of business crimes. May I ask if the evidence was provided by Stanton Corporation? Have they been convicted?" Jacob replied, "Stanton Corporation has been here for nearly two months. During our acquisition process, we’ll contact Zico Company and the relevant departments when we find anything that’s not right. Regarding their business crimes, please consult the court and the prosecutor’s office..”

Below the stage, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. Jacob’s performance was quite remarkable. He did not drop the ball this time.

Next, it was time for a key person to make an appearance the wife of the murderer.

No one recognized her, but once the host introduced her, everyone’s eyes lit up brightly, like a hungry wolf that saw food. According to their plan, the wife of the murderer admitted to all the crimes she had done for the murderer and apologized in the name of her family. In exchange, all the medical bills for her daughter who had cancer would be waived. She did as promised. It looked like everything was going well. Although her life was miserable, she did not deserve sympathy.

Logan, who followed Nicole, bowed his head and asked her in a low voice, "President, everyone will be scattered around later, so it’ll be chaotic. Shall we leave first?" Nicole paused. Her fine eyebrows knitted slightly. "Wait…"

She somehow felt a strange worry in her heart, as if the situation should not be so calm.

The woman on the stage finished those words in tears, then expressed gratitude for Stanton Corporation’s understanding. When Jacob was about to announce his exit, he suddenly heard someone among the reporters shouting. "This woman received a bribe! Her husband is about to be sentenced to death, yet she still speaks for Stanton Corporation. Exactly how much benefit did they give you?" In an instant, there was a strange atmosphere on site. Many people were whispering with their heads down. That person’s allegation among the reporters disrupted the mood that was set in the beginning. Instead, everyone was more curious about what private deal this woman had with Stanton Corporation. "Our President Nicole almost died, yet you guys are questioning our intentions?!" Jacob’s face turned red with anger.

"But isn’t Ms. Stanton fine now? This woman’s husband is about to be sentenced to death, so who knows if this was planned by you guys a long time ago? It’s easy to bribe someone to admit guilt after all…"

The person who spoke among the crowd was a skinny man with a baseball cap who looked like a local. Although the man looked inconspicuous as he stood there, his temperament was still very different from those polite journalists. Nicole retracted her gaze and ordered Logan in a low voice, "Find the man who spoke out and get him under control, then hand him over to the police." That man was certainly not a reporter. He most probably came here to cause trouble under Lincoln Zelman’s coercion. Logan hesitated. "But if I leave you here…" No one would be there to protect Nicole. Nicole pursed her lips. "It’s okay, no one will notice me here. Just go and come back quickly." They thought about many defenses, but they did not expect someone to sneak in with the press. Logan nodded and obliged.

After all, in this environment, calling someone would attract attention. "Tell us! How much did you charge them to sell out your husband?" The man below the stage was still shouting and stirring up everyone’s emotions. The woman on the stage obviously did not expect this situation.

She could only go onstage to say these things after countless people came to her door to analyze the pros and cons. Thus, she did it for the sake of her daughter and disregarded her own reputation. When the woman was asked this in front of so many people, she instantly became flustered. In less than a minute, the situation turned intense.

The man with the baseball cap might have gotten a partner in crime because someone in the crowd actually echoed his words.

Nicole could not help but frown. She subconsciously turned to look carefully at those reporters. The next second, the man with the baseball cap suddenly threw a mineral water bottle at the woman's body, which smashed onto her. "Were you colluding with them to set your husband up? Give us an explanation!"

In an instant, the scene was uncontrollable. There was an uproar. Nicole’s face changed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shouting at the top of his lungs. "Nicole Stanton is right there! Let’s ask her!"

Nicole did not have time to do anything. A mineral water bottle suddenly flew in front of her. She was in her wheelchair and could not dodge it. ’Damn it! I shouldn’t have let Logan go!’ Nicole thought.

Seeing that the bottle was about to be thrown at her head, she secretly clenched her teeth and thought, ’Sand City must be cursed!’

In the nick of time, there was sudden darkness in front of her eyes, as if someone had blocked her face with their body. The bottle was thrown at that person’s back, then fell to the ground.

Everyone saw the person who was blocking Nicole. In an instant, the scene was silent. Nicole raised her head and looked at Eric. Her face was obviously shocked. ’Why is Eric here?!’ Eric was wearing a black shirt with its hem loosely tucked into a pair of black pants. The diamonds on his cuffs had a cold, sharp luster. He looked so handsome, high, and mighty. His black eyes were icy and sullen with no other emotion on his face. When Nicole met Eric’s gaze, his pair of black and sunken eyes under those thick eyelashes looked like an abyss. He looked so noble and stern, like the god of hell.

Nicole was stunned for a moment. She was just about to speak when Eric withdrew his gaze and turned around. His voice was frigid and deep. "Bring them in!"

Two middle-aged women and a young girl’s eyes were red as soon as they entered. They looked at the wife of the murderer on stage with hidden anger and hatred in their eyes. However, looking at the man in the baseball cap among the group of reporters, they could not help but point at him. "It’s you! You’re Lincoln Zelman’s brother-in-law! You’re the one who did Lincoln Zelman’s dirty deeds and bribed the murderer to tamper with the construction site and killed my husband! I know you. You used 820,000 to threaten us and shut us up. You’re so despicable!” That statement was like a huge rock thrown into a pond that set off a huge wave.

The man with the baseball cap panicked. ”That’s nonsense!"

The young girl who looked like she just started junior high school, stepped forward. Her emotions were the most restrained, but her voice trembled. She pointed at the man and spoke in front of the reporter.

’that’s him! He’s not a good person. To delay the project, he sacrifices a human life every year and disguises it as an accident. Just because my father is a foreigner who’s unfamiliar with this place and has no relatives here, he killed my father!" The restlessness among the reporters made the man with the baseball cap instantly nervous. Several of his accomplices saw that the situation was bad and wanted to withdraw. However, before they could leave, they were stopped by Logan and some bodyguards. This press conference had a lot of twists and turns, but it was very exciting. Those reporters were still focused on the three victims’ families’ accusations, so they did not notice that Eric bent down to pick up Nicole and left from the side door. When everyone reacted, Eric and Nicole were long gone.

Nicole was buried in his arms and could smell his warm and rich fragrance. She felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to scream, but the reporters were inside, and she could not afford the consequences.

Once they were outside, Nicole struggled and tried to get down. "Let go of me, Eric Ferguson!"

Eric’s arms were strong and sturdy. His face was sullen and somewhat gloomy. "Don’t move." Eric was going crazy these past few days.

His calls and messages went unanswered, so he knew that she was still angry at him. That was why he came.

Seeing that scene earlier, Eric was about to go berserk. What if that water bottle hit her? There was a black Range Rover parked at the entrance.

Eric approached, bent down, and put her inside, moving gently like she was a feather. Nicole was still angry with Eric. As soon as he got close, she exploded. "Go away! I want to get off!" Eric’s body stiffened for a moment when he heard this. A playful smile suddenly surfaced on his dark face. "How are you getting off?"

Her right leg was fractured, so walking two steps would hurt her to death. Nicole was even more furious. Eric did it on purpose. This bastard was taking advantage of her in peril! Although Eric just saved her, her subconscious did not have a single bit of gratitude.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that he did not deserve her gratitude. Eric took advantage of her silence to push her into the car and sat down next to her with ease. When he turned around to close the car door, Nicole suddenly noticed that Eric’s shirt was stuck to his back and was wet. The bottle of water was probably not tightened, so when it smashed on him, his clothes were drenched.

A flash of complexity crossed Nicole’s eyes. When she was just about to open her mouth, she heard Toto’s cautious voice coming from the front. "Ms. Stanton, long time no see…"

Toto was ashamed to see Nicole. If Nicole knew that the bad idea was Toto’s, she would not let him off the hook. Toto only hoped that Eric would not betray him.

When Nicole heard his voice, she realized that there were two other people in front of her - the driver and Toto. For a moment, her expression was a little unnatural. "Toto’s here too?" "If you don’t feel comfortable with me, I can go down…"

Toto smiled cheekily. He did not expect that Eric would use such a brutal method to kidnap Nicole, and surprisingly, Nicole did not go crazy at all. It seemed that Eric still knew Nicole best.

Nicole’s face stiffened and coldly snorted. "No need."

Eric sat there lazily. He slowly swept a glance to the front.

His voice was dull and cold as he said, “What are you still waiting for? Drive…”

The driver was stunned for a moment and hurriedly started the car. Nicole’s eyebrows were knitted together. "Where are you going? My people are still inside. I want to go down!" Eric’s handsome and fair face showed a hint of mockery.

"Your people? When you were in danger, your people weren’t even visible. They’re not as good as me…" Nicole’s eyes faintly flickered. She pursed her lips. "D id you bring those three victims’ family members here?" Before Eric answered, Toto spoke with relish.

"Yes, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Ferguson is so attentive to you. He heard that you came to this damn place again and put aside so many things in the company because he’s worried for your safety. When we were on the way over, he was chanting your name all the way. Sigh… We were so touched when we saw it. Where can you find such a great guy?" What Toto originally said was well-founded, but the more he spoke, the more off-topic it got. Toto did not notice Eric’s cold and murderous gaze as well as Nicole’s increasingly playful smile. Eric had to cough heavily to interrupt Toto’s incessant bragging. "You’re the only one with a mouth?"

Toto shivered. ’It’s over… I talked too much!’ He smiled awkwardly. "Everyone has one too…" Nicole curled her lips. A hint of discomfort crossed her eyes.

”Anyway, thank you so much.”

Eric inclined his head to look at her with a reserved temperament and his cool and handsome features. His thin lips had a vaguely detached chill. It seemed extremely pretentious to Nicole.

"Just one word of thanks?” Eric said.

’Huh! He is really very pretentious!’ Nicole thought.

Nicole did not panic. ”You owe me, so this one word of thanks is actually superfluous.” Sure enough, Eric’s face changed instantly.

He suddenly felt less imposing.

It was all Ingrid’s fault!

Eric adjusted his sitting posture and spoke with deliberation, ”Then… We’re even now, okay?” His tone was humble and pitiful. Toto felt heartbroken for Eric. Nicole was speechless.

Her phone was with Logan, so she could not even make a phone call. Logan must have been anxious when he found out that she disappeared. Thinking of this, Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows and stretched out her hand. Her delicate and beautiful fingers were just like a work of art. ”Lend me your phone for a while.” Eric refused. ”No.”

’He’s so unyielding now, huh?’ Nicole thought.

Nicole did not retract her hand. It was frozen mid-air as she stared at him with cold eyes. After a few seconds of silence, Eric’s face moved slightly. He sighed. Just when Nicole thought that Eric had the good sense to compromise, he put his big hand on hers.

When Toto saw this scene from the rearview mirror, his face twitched slightly. ’Mr. Ferguson has some skills!’ The atmosphere inside the car became stagnant for a moment. Nicole speechlessly tried to withdraw her hand, but Eric instantly grabbed it. ’He’s so thick-skinned!’ Nicole thought.

Eric’s fingers were long and slender with well-defined lines and a burning temperature. He held her slightly cool hand and reluctantly released it. He still wore ”The Single" on his ring finger, which flashed a cold light. The kind of emotion that was suppressed at the bottom of his heart suddenly started to pour out at that moment. His sharp black eyes looked straight at Nicole as he said, "I'm sorry…”

His voice was low and raspy.

He had so much he wanted to say, but they morphed into those simple words. Obviously, Eric never wanted to hurt Nicole. He wanted to protect her with all his might, but he was used by someone to harm her.

That kind of belated guilt was even harder to bear than someone hurting him. That was why he did not let the PR department take action in the first place. He had to let Nicole vent out her anger.

Read Chapter 797 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole was hooked by the rich and deep affection in Eric’s eyes and was stunned for a moment. Immediately after, she resumed her aloof look. She forcefully drew back her hand, drew a tissue from the tissue box on the side, and wiped her fingers slowly. Eric’s black eyes sank. His eyelashes drooped down. The curved shadows covered the loss within his eyes. "Eric Ferguson, not everything can be solved with an apology. Think about it, since we met until now, how many times have you apologized to me?" Nicole’s words were like a knife that stabbed into Eric’s heart. His body fiercely stiffened, and his face was tense and unsightly. He did not know what to say to justify himself. In her heart, Eric was serving a life sentence. What qualifications did he have to negotiate with her on equal terms?

The atmosphere in the car condensed for a moment.

In the front, Toto really could not help it. For Eric’s happiness, Toto admitted his fault. "Ms. Stanton, actually…"

Toto gritted his teeth. "Actually, the online attack on Mr. Sloan was done by me." Nicole’s eyes turned cold as she looked up. Her face was devoid of all warmth.

"In fact, it was my idea. I misunderstood Mr. Sloan. Someone told me something bad about Mr. Sloan, and I believed it. Mr. Ferguson was afraid that you’ll get hurt, so he agreed to my idea without in-depth understanding. I sent it to the media platform. The latter situation wasn’t our intention. Ms. Ferguson and Old Master Ferguson teamed up and tricked Mr. Ferguson…" Toto explained while thinking. Of course, he embellished the excuse.

He certainly could not say that those materials were from private detectives. Otherwise, it was just adding fuel to the fire. Nicole’s tone was austere. "Did he provoke you?" Toto immediately denied it. "No…" Nicole moved back a little. Her thin back was straight. Her eyes were clear, and her lips were bright. She looked cold and detached. "Mr. Ferguson, you have much more dirt than Clayton Sloan, but Clayton didn’t use these nasty means or dig up his dirt. Just based on this point, Clayton’s so much franker than him!" Nicole was scolding Eric indirectly.

Toto’s face was glum and embarrassed. He was Eric’s man, so naturally, Toto would side with his boss. Nicole’s words were very reasonable, but it was hard to hear. Eric’s black eyes were calm and quiet as if the momentary wave of emotions earlier never happened.

He turned his head to the side and looked directly at Nicole. His dark eyes were grim.

Suddenly, he closed in on her. His long legs took up most o f the space, and she subconsciously dodged backward. However, he forcefully and unquestionably took her hand that she had just withdrawn and rubbed her hand in his, secretly protesting. His voice was extremely deep with an inexplicable ruthlessness. ”You can take it out on me or retaliate against me. You can do whatever you want, but don’t mention Clayton Sloan. He deserved it. He’s lucky that I didn’t get him killed." His tone carried an innate tyranny and coldness

Whenever Clayton’s name was mentioned, Eric felt the urge to kill. Wanting Eric to bow down to Clayton and admit his mistakes was a pipe dream. Eric would only bow down to one person, and that was Nicole. After that, Eric turned around, crossed his long legs, and lazily leaned back on the car seat, then silently closed his eyes. His hand that was holding Nicole’s delicate and soft hand did not let go.

Nicole struggled to break free. She was so angered by his words that she could not speak. This bastard is so thick-skinned to say such impudent words! The car was speeding along and looked like it was going on the highway. Nicole was a little anxious.

Read Chapter 798 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole really did not want to talk to Eric F*ckerson again.

She raised her eyes and met Toto’s gaze, who was peeking back. Before Toto could shift his gaze, Nicole spoke.

"Toto, lend me your phone and I’ll spare you this time." In the end, Toto was only targeting Clayton, not her. Nicole had already taken revenge and avenged herself.

Although Clayton saved her life, she would not turn against Ferguson Corporation for him because Stanton Corporation was behind her.Toto hesitated to hand over his phone.

Eric warned him from behind. "You can try giving it…" Nicole was furious. "Eric Ferguson, do you think that they don’t know that you took me away? My people will find me soon." Eric opened his eyes slightly.

His eyes were obscure and dark with a dullness. "Is staying with me so unbearable for you?" Nicole laughed in exasperation. "If it were you, would you be as willing to be with me?" Eric pondered for a few seconds. "I would…"

Nicole was speechless. ’Forget it… There’s no point talking to this kind of bastard!’ She leaned back in exasperation. ’I’m gonna die from anger

one day! This bastard! I can’t let him go!’

The man said what he wanted to and closed his eyes again to sleep. The car finally regained its silence. It was a smooth drive. Even Nicole felt a little sleepy.

She knew that it was dangerous, but she still drifted off to sleep. After Nicole’s breathing became steady, the man next to her opened his eyes. Eric looked to the side and loosened her hand slightly. She did not move. She was really asleep.

His fond gaze lingered on her face. How good would it be if only Nicole was not so diametrically opposed to him and showed him half the patience she had with Clayton… Eric picked up the blanket next to him and gently covered her body. He glanced at her right leg, which made his pupils shrink fiercely. He was really heartbroken. Eric shot Toto a look, which Toto immediately understood.

Toto found Logan’s phone number and sent a message to him. "Mr. Ferguson will send Ms. Stanton back." There was not a single extra word.Originally, Eric did not want to say anything. He never liked Logan in the first place because Logan was always following Nicole around. What if Logan had inappropriate thoughts about Nicole?

However, Toto suggested telling Logan because it would be very bad for Eric’s reputation if this matter spread to the Stanton family. The Stantons’ impression of Eric would be completely lost if that were to happen. Thus, Eric reluctantly agreed.

It was a two-hour drive, but they arrived in an hour and a half. This made Eric very dissatisfied, so he glared at the driver with some coldness. The driver did not know what he had done wrong and dared not look back in trepidation. Nicole was still asleep, so under Toto’s signal, their car circled the city. In less than twenty minutes. Their car was stopped. Several luxury cars blocked Eric’s car at the intersection. From a distance, this scene was serious and spectacular. Eric’s eyes were austere. His expression was very unpleasant. Toto was nervous. "Mr. Ferguson, this…"

Toto’s voice had disturbed Nicole’s sleep, so Eric glared at him fiercely. The curtains inside the car were drawn, making it pitch black inside. Nicole slowly woke up. She squinted but could not see anything. Her mind was chaotic and confused. Eric touched her hand. His tone was gentle and doting as if the disagreement before she fell asleep did not exist. "Are you awake?"

This voice was so gentle and soothing. It was somewhat familiar. “Clayton?” Nicole subconsciously blurted out. For a moment, the temperature in the car suddenly plummeted. It was extremely cold.

Read Chapter 799 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Toto coughed heavily when he heard Clayton’s name.

He then pressed the button that automatically pulled the curtain open. The sunlight outside the window was brilliant and blinding, which instantly shone into the car. Nicole subconsciously closed her eyes. The memories from before she slept flooded in her head. ’Oh… This is Eric’s car…’

When she raised her head again, she saw Eric’s dark and sullen face. He seemed to be vaguely suppressing his anger as he looked deeply at her. Eric then simply opened the car door and got off.

The people in the other cars also came down. They were from the Stanton family. Eric straightened his clothes and nodded slightly. "Big Brother…" The corners of Grant’s mouth twitched.

Grant’s face was already glum to begin with because Nicole had run off to Sand City by herself without telling him. By the time Grant knew about it, it was already too late.

When Grant was on the way to pick her up, he heard that she had been taken away by Eric. Not only that, she even lost contact with the Stanton family.

The Stantons used a lot of connections to get access to the surveillance footage on all major highways and roads before they pinpointed Nicole’s location.

Eric was actually circling around the city center. He was sick in the head! "Mr. Ferguson, you’re so relaxed. It looks like you don’t care about that little farce online…"

Grant’s tone was indifferent, and his voice was deep as he spoke. Eric ignored Grant’s indifference and smiled politely.

Among the Stanton brothers, only Grant’s character and temperament were closest to Eric. Thus, Eric respected Grant.

Of course, Eric respected him even more as Nicole’s big brother. "What’s done is done. Besides taking it as a warning, I’m afraid that it’s impossible to start over again. But it’s added quite a lot of trouble to you, Big Brother…" Eric kept calling Grant "Big Brother", which made Grant extremely vexed.

"Mr. Ferguson, if you really don’t want to add trouble to others, then stay away from my sister. Your Ferguson family kept pestering her. Do you think that it’s not enough to put her in harm’s way?" If Nicole had not amused herself in this counterattack and had not been satisfied with her means and effect, Grant would never have stopped so easily. It definitely would not have been as simple as Ingrid being sent out of the country. Eric calmly said, "I’ll visit the Stanton Mansion some other day to apologize." Grant said, "No need to visit us. Our family will be grateful

for that."

Grant’s attitude was very disrespectful. Eric’s face also sank.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Then, Nicole could not help but poke her head out. Her tone was soft with some laziness. "Brother, carry me…"

Eric turned to the side and saw Nicole extending her arms toward Grant. Grant’s face changed instantly. He then walked over gently, bent down, and carried her out of the car. Seeing that Nicole was not bullied and her face was rosy and glowing, Grant’s emotions eased a bit. Eric looked at Nicole’s completely different attitudes toward him and Grant and felt uncomfortable. He tried hard to comfort himself that Grant was his brother- in-law, so he should not get jealous or angry. When Grant walked past Eric to leave, Eric did not stop him. Eric had wanted to bring Nicole back too. It was not impossible to confine Nicole to his own world, but it was unrealistic. Eric hoped that one day, Nicole could stand side by side with him in a dignified manner and that they would love and cherish each other. That way, their relationship would last. He used to have her, and he wanted her back. "Nicole…" Eric suddenly called out to her, not wanting to watch her

leave so smugly.

Grant paused in his footsteps but did not turn around.

However, Nicole turned her head to look over. Her clear eyes were sharp. Eric pursed his lips and felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.

Even if everyone wanted to go deaf from hearing the cheesy words Eric was about to say, Eric still had to say them. His face was cold and handsome, and his eyes were dark as he hesitated for a few seconds. "My heart can no longer hold others with you in it…”

Nicole’s face became twisted. Her gaze was like dense needles that stabbed at Eric. She wanted to curse him. She also wanted to throw up! Grant was calm and snorted lightly. He ignored Eric and walked forward. He then deliberately interpreted Eric’s cheesy words in other ways. "He’s saying that you’re too fat and take up too much space Nicole reacted to it and could not help but break into a cursing fit. "Eric Ferguson, f*ck you!"

Nicole felt like biting him. Saying that she had grown fat was the same as questioning a fashionista’s taste and doubting a woman’s self-control.

Although Nicole had been living the good life these days and did not go to the gym to exercise, the people around her said that she had lost weight.

’Eric F*ckerson! He’s not only annoying but also blind!’ Nicole thought.

Eric did not hear Grant’s words, so he did not understand why Nicole suddenly scolded him. He was so indignant that he did not know what to say.

He mustered up the courage to say such a barefaced confession, which was so difficult for a domineering president.

The several cars on the other side quickly disappeared on the road.

Eric was still standing there, looking a little hurt.

His figure was big, tall, and straight, incredibly striking. Toto coughed. "Mr. Ferguson, let’s get in the car?"

Eric’s face was sullen as he got into the car. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is she angry again?"

Needless to say, he was asking Toto.

Toto instantly became alert. "Ms. Stanton… Probably held back the whole journey."

’She wanted to scold you from the beginning…’ Toto thought.

Eric was speechless. He swept a piercing gaze at Toto.

Toto trembled. "Or perhaps… She was too touched by your true confession?"

Eric looked at Toto like he was an idiot.

"Do I look like a fool to you?" Eric’s voice was cold and coarse.

Toto wimped out in seconds.

"You don’t say such sweet words often, so Ms. Stanton can’t adapt to it for a while. You have to show her your love more and sweet talk her more so that she’ll adapt to it. In this regard, we can’t let that hypocrite Clayton Sloan steal the show!"

Clayton looked like he was good at saying flamboyant and pleasant words.

Eric certainly had the disadvantage when it came to sweet words.

The car was silent.

Eric closed his eyes to think. Toto let out a sigh of relief. It looked like Eric believed his words.

They went back to Ferguson Corporation, and Eric went directly to his office.

Mitchell stopped Toto.

"Toto, these days, some people are inquiring about our company’s PR strategy. Last time, half of the credit was yours. You won’t betray Mr. Ferguson and jump ship, right?"

Such things abound in the industry.

Public relations were particularly important because it could turn something dead alive and could also kill the living.

If everyone in the industry knew about Toto, Mitchell was afraid that they would all be scrambling to poach him.

Mitchell, as Eric’s main secretary, had the responsibility to pay attention to everyone’s intention for Eric.

Once someone leaves, Mitchell would have to find a replacement in time to minimize losses.

Toto sighed. "Mr. Ferguson and I are tight! Nothing can replace our feelings. Mr. Ferguson’s trust in me has surpassed the relationship of a superior to a subord inate, so how could I jump ship?"

Toto’s matchmaking agency was still not open yet.

Rather than working for someone else, Toto preferred to be his own boss.

After a pause, Toto looked solemn and muttered, "Even if it’s for money, I wouldn’t either."

Who could be more generous than Eric Ferguson?

Toto stayed by Eric’s side. Those who wanted to poach Toto were the ones who were licking Eric’s boots.

Currently, Toto only had to listen to one person’s orders and was above everyone else.

Toto became somewhat addicted to the position beside

Eric.

A sense of sublimity ensued.
